Family Of Six Die After Meal In Anambra State!

Tragedy struck at the serene community of Uli in Ihiala Local Council Area of Anambra State as indigenes and residents of the community woke up yesterday morning to discover a family of six dead.

The discovery threw the community, which also houses the main campus of the Anambra State University into panic and confusion.

According to sources, the members of Umabuchi family in Eziama Village, Uli were discovered dead on Saturday morning by neighbours.

The sources also added that they could have eaten a poisoned meal the previous night. But the Anambra State Police Command said the incident was under investigation.

Among those who died after the suspected poisoned supper according to sources included the mother of the family, with her three children, a maid and the mother of the woman who visited the family about two days before the poisoned meal.

One of the dead children was said to be a teacher at the village school.

The father, Mr. Umuabuchi was said to have travelled out of town and so did not partake in the meal. He is thus the only survivor of the family.

When contacted Police spokesman in the state, Mr. Emeka Chukwuemeka confirmed the incident but said investigation was ongoing to unravel the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
